It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

Chapter 7: Shen Yunjian, who was kept in seclusion

The old Taoist priest was no match for Shen Yunjian at all, and was subdued and pinned to the ground in just a few moves.

He couldn't help but turn around and ask Cheng Shuyan for credit: "Ah Yan, look, I caught this demon!"

Shen Yunjian's face was full of requests for praise, but Cheng Shuyan was frightened when he saw the Taoist's actions.

"careful!"

She quickly mobilized her spiritual energy, subconsciously made hand gestures, and ran quickly to Shen Yunjian, and a protective shield was formed instantly.

At the same time, the old Taoist laughed grimly and roared: "Go to hell, hahaha!"

A red light flashed, and a flaming spiritual arrow instantly pierced Cheng Shuyan's shield.

Blocked by the shield, the power of the spiritual energy arrow suddenly became much smaller, but it still attacked Cheng Shuyan without changing direction.

Shen Yunjian also reacted at this time, and quickly dodged to pull Cheng Shuyan away, using a water shield to dissolve the attack of the spiritual arrow.

Seeing this, Cheng Shuyan gathered her spiritual energy between her fingers, and a ball of fire formed between her fingers, which she then threw towards the old Taoist.

The old Taoist had already exhausted all his strength when dealing with Shen Yunjian, and this attack just now was just a counterattack and a gamble on his luck.

If he could kill Shen Yunjian, Cheng Shuyan would no longer be a threat to him.

But he didn't expect Cheng Shuyan to react so quickly, blocking his attack for Shen Yunjian and buying time.

Cheng Shuyan's attack was extremely fast, giving the old Taoist no time to react, and the flames ignited the old Taoist in an instant.

Seeing this, Shen Yunjian gritted his teeth and struck the old Taoist with another sword, killing him.

Seeing that the problem was completely resolved, Cheng Shuyan felt relieved and suddenly lost her strength, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Shen Yunjian was quick to support her.

The bandits who witnessed everything were already scared out of their wits and tried to sneak away, but Team Leader Zhang did not give them the chance. He immediately ordered his men to tie up all the bandits.

"Thank you both for your help. I wonder how you two plan to deal with this group of bandits?"

Team leader Zhang asked the two returning people cautiously.

Shen Yunjian curled his lips and said nothing. Cheng Shuyan glanced at the bandits who were tied up like dumplings and said angrily: "Let's hand them over to the government. These bandits have committed many evil deeds. I'm sure they won't have an easy time in the hands of the government."

After the matter came to an end, the convoy rested on the spot. Team leader Zhang specially cleared a carriage for Cheng Shuyan and the others to rest.

After the two of them got into the carriage, a porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air in Shen Yunjian's hand. He poured out a pill and handed it to Cheng Shuyan, saying:

"Ah Yan, this is the Soul-Restoring Pill. It can quickly replenish your spiritual energy. You are now drained of spiritual energy and weak. If you don't replenish your spiritual energy quickly, you might damage your meridians."

There was deep remorse and guilt in his eyes. If he hadn't been so careless, how could he have fallen into the trap of that old man and caused Cheng Shuyan to be injured?

Cheng Shuyan saw it, said nothing, took the pill and swallowed it, then began to meditate to refine the medicinal power.

Rich spiritual energy spread through her meridians, and her exhausted body seemed to be like dry earth moistened by drizzle, and her physical strength gradually recovered.

Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the things of immortal cultivators were indeed magical.

An hour later, Cheng Shuyan recovered completely with the help of the elixir, and the convoy also rested and continued on its journey.

In the car, Cheng Shuyan looked at Shen Yunjian who was keeping his head down and not saying a word, and couldn't help but ask him, "Have you never killed anyone?"

Shen Yunjian raised his head, his eyes filled with self-blame: "I'm sorry, Ah Yan, I grew up in the family and have never gone out to gain experience.

When I spar with other members of the clan on a daily basis, I always stop when the time is right. I have indeed never killed anyone.

This was my first time out, my first time fighting other monks. I thought I had that old Taoist under my control, but I didn't expect him to be so treacherous and nearly harm you."

He spoke softer and softer, as if he was a child who had made a mistake. Cheng Shuyan sighed. He was indeed a simple child who was raised in a "secluded place".

She patted his head and said, "You've done very well. There's no need to blame yourself. Just remember the lesson you learned today and never be careless with your enemies again."

Shen Yunjian was obviously a few years older than her, but when she touched his head as if she was teaching a junior a lesson, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he looked at Cheng Shuyan with bright eyes and nodded heavily.

"Yeah! Ah Yan, I understand. I won't make this mistake again!"

"Ah Yan, look, this is the old Taoist's storage bag. I took a look and there are only a few dozen spirit stones and some gold and silver treasures in it. I don't need these things, so you can take them!"

Looking at the bag that Shen Yunjian handed over and remembering the long sword he had taken out out of thin air before, Cheng Shuyan realized that this must be the "luggage" of the immortal cultivator.

She didn't bother to be polite with Shen Yunjian, took the storage bag, and then asked Shen Yunjian for instructions on how to use it without any hesitation.

……

The convoy did not encounter any more accidents after that and arrived at Xuanyang City smoothly.

As soon as they entered the city, they said goodbye to everyone in the convoy.

It was already dusk when he entered the city. Cheng Shuyan did not waste any time. After finding out the location of the brothels in the city, he went straight to the nearest one.

Shen Yunjian also followed her closely. The two of them were now sharing hardships. Cheng Shuyan regarded him as a friend and followed him.

Now she only needs to find Cheng Dani's sister, and after settling her down, she can go to the world of immortal cultivation with peace of mind.

When Cheng's father sold his second daughter, Cheng Dani didn't know where her sister would be taken. She only heard the human trafficker say that it was a brothel in Xuanyang City.

She could only look for him one by one, but after looking for six houses, there was still no news.

It wasn't until the seventh house that they met an acquaintance.

"Eh? Master Cheng... Immortal, why are you guys here too?"

It was Brother Lin from the car team. When he saw the two of them stepping into the brothel, he was stunned at first, then with an expression of "I understand", he pulled the two of them to sit next to him, and then called the madam, intending to call girls for them!

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Lin, wait a moment. We are here to look for someone, not to have fun. Let's leave after we get the news." Cheng Shuyan hurriedly stopped him, fearing that he would really attract two girls. She would not be able to control such a situation.

"Looking for someone?" Brother Lin suddenly realized something. He thought that the immortal would come to such a place to seek pleasure just like him.

"You plan to search for someone in a place like this? How?"

"Of course I'd ask the madam."

Cheng Shuyan was a little puzzled. The madam of this place was the most powerful person. Who else could he look for except her?

"Oh! Brother Cheng, you won't find it like this!" Brother Lin looked so disappointed that he even changed his address. "The fact that you're here looking for someone means that the person you're looking for was most likely sold here. How could she possibly tell you if you just ask the madam openly like this?"

Cheng Shuyan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the madams of the previous houses had said they had never seen her before, without even hearing her finish her words! It was she who had overlooked this aspect.

"Then how should I find it?"

"Looking for a prostitute!" Brother Lin said proudly, "The prostitutes in the brothels are only after money. As long as you can afford it, they will tell you everything they know."
